2012-08-29Don't make ttyname* fail if proc filesystem is not availableSiddhesh Poyarekar
The ttyname and ttyname_r functions on Linux now fall back to searching for the tty file descriptor in /dev/pts or /dev if /proc is not available. This allows creation of chroots without the procfs mounted on /proc. Fixes BZ #14516.

2012-08-22Add versions of wcscpy, wcschr, wcsrchr for power6/power7.Will Schmidt
Initially based on the versions found in wcsmbs/* ; these files have been changed by hand unrolling, and adding some additional variables to allow some read-ahead to occur, which then relieves some of the wait-for-increment/wait-for-load/wait-for-compare-results pressure that was slowing down every iteration through the while-loop. For 64-bit Power7, These changes give an approx 20% throughput boost for the wcschr and wcsrchr functions; and approx 40% boost for the wcscpy function. 32-bit improvements appear to be slightly better with ~ %30 and ~ %45 respectively. Results for Power6 closely match those for power7.

[BZ #13579] Do not free l_initfini and allow it to be reused on subsequent dl_open calls for the same library. This fixes the invalid memory access in do_lookup_x when the previously free'd l_initfini was accessed through l_searchlist when a library had been opened for the second time.
